Welcome to Costume Party Planning!
Here you will find a store full of costumes, masks and wigs, as well as some great party tips.
I personally own a costume shop in the heart of downtown San Francisco, and I know how difficult it can be to find the right costume. I hope that you will find my blog helpful in planning your next party.
Ten Things You Should Know When Planning A Costume Party:
1. Costumes can be expensive. If you are looking for an inexpensive Halloween costume, try shopping at a Thrift Store or Goodwill. You can often find a lot of costumes for under $50 each.
2. Make sure everyone at your party is wearing a unique costume – this will make it more fun!
3. If you are planning on having food at your party, plan ahead by buying all of your supplies at least one week before the event. This will ensure freshness and quality of ingredients.
4. Plan for about 10-15 minutes per person when creating games for guests to play; it’s easy to underestimate how long people need to get dressed up in their costumes and set up their games.

A costume party can be a lot of fun! But, before you send out your invitations, there are some important things you should know. Here are 10 things to consider when planning your party:
– Where is the best place to have your event? If you are having a large number of people attend, you might want to consider renting a banquet hall or community center. For smaller events, your home will work just fine.
– How many people do you plan to invite? The number of guests will largely determine where you hold the party. You’ll also need to decide if it’s going to be a “costume required” party or not. Invite too many people and some may not come because they don’t have costumes. Not enough people and it won’t seem much like a party.
– What kind of food will you be serving? Will it be full meal or just appetizers? Do you want to serve alcohol? These considerations will help decide how much food and drink you need and what kind of dishes you’ll need for serving.
– Will there be music? Will you have it playing in the background or hire live entertainment? If so, what kind of music will set the theme for your party?
– Will there be games or other
We all know the importance of a good costume. Everyone wants to be at the centre of attention and a good costume can ensure that. The problem is that finding the right costume is often easier said than done. The following ten tips will help you find the right costume no matter what situation you are in.
1) First and foremost, the number one tip we can give you is to start early! The last thing you want to do is wait until the last minute to get a costume and then have to settle for something that does not fit or does not look good on you. It’s always best to start looking as soon as possible so you can find just what you are looking for at a price you can afford.
2) Speaking of price, it’s always important to know how much you want to spend on a particular costume. You don’t want to end up spending more than you intended because it was the only thing around with your size or because it was something that nobody else wanted (read: they were out of stock on everything else). So before you set out looking for costumes, make sure that you have a budget in mind and stick with it!
3) The next tip we can give you is to think about what sort of event or occasion this
One of the best ways to celebrate Halloween or any other occasion is by hosting a costume party. You can have fun with your friends, family and co-workers as you enjoy dressing up in your favorite costumes. The challenge comes when planning for a costume party. To give you an exciting and fun experience below are some tips on how to plan a successful costume party.
1. Determine the number of guests
This is the first step to planning a successful costume party. It will help you know how much budget to put aside for the event, how big the venue should be and so on. It’s important to invite your guests weeks before the party since it’s not easy to find costumes at last minute notice. Additionally, it will help you find out if there is anyone with special needs amongst your guests so that you can prepare adequately.
2. Pick a theme
Costume parties are more exciting if they have themes. Themes range from scary, funny, superheros, historical characters and so on. You can also choose themes based on the type of food or drinks you will serve such as “come dressed as your favorite candy” or “come dressed as your favorite drink”. Once you pick a
Costumes are fun all year round, but they really come into their own around the holiday season. As soon as Halloween is over, we turn our thoughts to Christmas and what to dress up as for the office party. The key to choosing your costume is being early. Planning ahead and not rushing your selection can help you avoid disappointment and make the most of your costume purchase. Here are ten tips for buying a great costume for any occasion.
Make a list: whether it’s for Halloween, Christmas or just a themed party at home, make a list of who you need costumes for and check each person off as you buy their outfit. This will help you keep track of how much money you’ve spent and avoid the panic of realizing that two weeks before Christmas you still have no idea what to wear.
Get your measurements: this may sound obvious but there’s nothing worse than realizing that the perfect costume doesn’t fit because it’s too small or too big. Try on your clothes before you buy them if possible. If not, be sure to take lots of measurements so that you know exactly what size to order online.
Don’t go anywhere without a camera: there’s nothing worse than finding the perfect costume only to forget what it looks like later when it comes time to
The best way to get your friends excited about a costume party is to make sure the theme is something they will enjoy. If you are not sure what theme to choose, start by asking your guests for ideas. Remember that the theme will be the basis for most of everything else.
Once you have chosen a theme, it is time to plan the rest of your party. Here are some tips on how to plan a costume party:
1. Make sure you have a theme – While technically a costume party can be just that, most people will appreciate having some sort of direction for what to wear. This can be something as simple as a color or something more specific such as the roaring 20’s.
2. Plan your menu – If you are doing a themed party, plan your food around it. For example, if you are having an Italian themed party make sure you have lots of pasta, wine and cheese.
3. Be considerate with the guest list – Your friend who is allergic to peanuts might not be too keen on coming to your Halloween bash where nearly everyone is dressed in peanut butter jars and jelly sandwiches. So think about these things before having them on your guest list.
4. Have some entertainment – Whether this is having a DJ or some games, it will help break the ice between guests who don’t know each other, or just be something fun to do during the party.
5. Make sure you have enough seating – You don’t want people standing all night. Make sure there are enough seats for everyone and for those who will want to sit down during the night, especially if they are wearing costumes that are difficult to walk in.
6. Send out invitations – Make
